House, Senate control up for grabs in 2024 election as voters elect a new Congress

Americans are gearing up to elect a new Congress, with control of both chambers up for grabs. The outcome will impact the fate of the legislative agenda, key bills, and the confirmation of the next president’s nominees. Republicans are favored to win the Senate, while Democrats are hoping to flip some Republican-held seats in purple states. In the House, Democrats need to win just four seats to gain control. Both parties are heavily invested in key battlegrounds in New York, California, and other swing states. The upcoming Congress will have to work closely with the new president, regardless of the outcome of the election.
